  Here are a few things off the top of my head.

  Deleted accounts leave orphaned posts/comments, which still exist on the site but can be difficult for admins to find and remove: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/5525

  Private message reports don’t go to all the right people: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/4436

  We should be getting some vote analytics in the future, which will be great. Lemmy seems to have a significant number of vote manipulation accounts that only exist to upvote/downvote in unison, but they are currently hard to find. https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/5669

  I really should open an issue to improve the reports queue. It’s tolerable if you mod an individual community or a smaller instance, but it is unusable as an admin on a really big instance like .world. There is no way to search or sort the reports. You can filter by posts or comments but then it only shows you 20 entries, which is a weird and unhelpful limitation. All reports have equal priority; there is no mechanism for users to flag reports that should be escalated to admins. And, if something is heavily reported, there is no way to batch resolve the reports after you address the issue.

    I wonder, are you able to view these if you switch to “Chat” view?

      the problem isn’t being able to see them in the thread but that you can’t open the user profile, so you don’t see if there are any comments.

  A built in auto mod is the largest thing. A way to say that this common pattern is spam and to block it system wide, right now we just don’t have that. A nice to have stretch goal would be to use some model to fight actual gore or csam material, which just doesn’t exist. A moderation dashboard would be great to see users with their comment history, vote trends, high level to see if a person just had an off comment that might be taken the wrong way, or if there is a trend of trolling behavior

  These have been opened on the GitHub and either sit open forever or are just closed.

    does Reddit have any of these tools built-in? they sound cool, but they can also be built externally (I believe an automod exists?), and I would say correctly take a back seat to bug fixes

      Why compare us to reddit? We feel like Reddit but from a hosting and admin perspective it’s a whole different ballgame. Mods of reddit at worst run the risk of their communities being taken down for a bit if they let content slip through. Here on Lemmy us admins are legally liable for content that is posted. We don’t have a large limited liability corporation that will take the hit for us. We need these tools, or we are the ones that will have boots through doors.

        I think it’s better as separate software. It means it can be developed more efficiently. And this seems to have a lot of features.

  Unrelated, but deus ex randomized sounds like a great idea. It’s been so long I feel like I would have to replay the base game first.

    we have a game mode called “Zero Rando” (no randomization) that’s basically vanilla gameplay

    the Randomizer had so many compatibility fixes, QoL improvements, and bug fixes over the original game, this ended up being really useful for new first time players

    since you’ve played before we also have “Zero Rando Plus” which is the same thing, but also includes the balance changes we’ve made for Randomizer

    and we also have “Rando Lite” and “Rando Medium” to get started with the randomization stuff before going up to Normal Randomizer or Full Randomizer

      How does this compare to other community patches in your opinion?

      source

      • Die4Ever@retrolemmy.com ⁨16⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        our “Zero Rando” makes way less changes to the gameplay than GMDX or Revision, which are often recommended to first time players but they’re actually totally different games from the original

    Unrelated, but Moby Dick was named after a real white whale named Mocha Dick, which was nicknamed after first being encountered near Mocha Island.
